Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of neurons to alter some functional property in response to alterations in input.
In theory, TPR and the heart rate (the inverse of heart period) are altered by the autonomic baroreflex in response to alterations in Ved [ 41, 42].
CaSR is a G protein-coupled receptor [ 28] and it is responsible for modulating PTH and calcitonin release in response to alterations in extracellular calcium levels.
Second, the effect of LV elastance on the responses of end-systolic pressure, PP, and SV anticipated due to the changes in end-diastolic volume is summarized in Table 2. Similarly to TPR and heart rate, LV elastance is altered by the autonomic baroreflex in response to alterations in Ved [ 43].
More recently, it was proposed that altered glutamatergic wiring could be the result of a homeostatic response to alterations in ErbB4 expressing fast-spiking interneurons (Del Pino et al., 2013).
This recruitment configuration can change in response to alterations in the external environmental conditions.
The key to normal muscle regeneration is the maintenance of niche homeostasis in response to alterations induced by various physiological stimuli.
For the performance of wood as a building material, its dimensional changes in response to alterations of relative humidity are commonly perceived as an adverse effect.
Molecules can switch their conformation in response to alterations in the surrounding environment, e.g. changes of temperature, solvent quality, pH, and ionic strength.
Recent studies are revealing how elaborate ER structures arise in response to subtle changes in protein levels, dynamics, and interactions as well as in response to alterations in cytosolic ion concentrations.
The adult mammalian heart can considerably increase (hypertrophy) or decrease (atrophy) its size in response to alterations in mechanical workload.
